“Stanislaw” by Justyna Dabrowski
Intimate, nostalgic, and warm. Those are the words that immediately come to mind when viewing Justyna’s Dabrowski’s latest collection “Remembered” on display at 100 Pearl Street Gallery in Hartford. Justyna draws inspiration from family photo albums to celebrate her Polish heritage. Using curtains and cloth, she constructs a tactile backdrop to the paintings, adding an element of warmth to the people portrayed in the pieces. This show is the first part of our Remembering & Repurposing exhibition series, which explores the preservation and recreation of memories and discarded materials into works of art from oil paintings to mixed media.
Experience the exhibit for yourself at the opening reception on Thursday, December 3, from 5-7p.m. at 100 Pearl Street Gallery (map), where you can meet Justyna, hear live folk music by Winthrop Stevens that echos the art, and share your own memories for our interactive arts piece over wine and light hors d’oeuvres. The show is on display through January 8. Read on for our q&a with Justyna and get a behind-the-scenes scoop of “Remembered.” Read More
